INSTALLING A POP UP DRAIN | DIY BURIED DOWNSPOUT

Posted on July 11, 2022November 4, 2022 by Megan

A quick solution is to grab a plastic downspout extension from any Home Depot or Lowes and direct the flow away from your house. But if your doers like us and you want to get your hands a little dirty, then let me introduce you to the pop up drainage emitter…

INSTALLING GUTTER GUARD | EASYON REVIEW

Posted on June 28, 2022November 4, 2022 by Megan

They say April showers bring May flowers, but it seemed for us that April showers just brought more May showers. Our old house was surrounded by tall trees and our gutters would constantly get clogged with leaves and forest gunk until we installed EasyOn Gutter Guard. We had such great success with the gutter guard…

REFINISHING OUR DECK | DIY RESTORATION

Posted on September 17, 2021December 9, 2021 by Megan

I know, I know… “Weren’t you finishing your basement?” The answer is- yes. But if you’ve been to any store that sells lumber in the past year, you would know that prices are outrageous. We finished insulating and framing most of the outside walls before we ran out of lumber and decided we should wait…

REPLACING OUR BASEMENT PATIO DOOR | DIY INSTALL

Posted on August 6, 2020December 9, 2021 by Megan

This DIY project has been a long time coming. We ordered this patio door for our basement (along with the lumber for our mini shed and new basement windows) back in April. It was one of our “bored and in quarantine” impulse buys. Some people buy clothes and gadgets- we buy doors! I should also…

5 IDEAS FOR CLOSET DECLUTTERING AND ORGANIZING

Posted on July 31, 2020December 9, 2021 by Megan

I’ve had the decluttering bug ever since we renovated our coat closet last week. Emptying cabinets, organizing toys, labeling boxes… no storage space is safe. This week I turned my attention to our neglected, cavernous, and dusty bedroom closet. I love to clean and organize, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have areas that get…

HOW WE’RE PLANNING THE NEW NURSERY + INSPIRATION PICTURES

Posted on May 28, 2020July 7, 2020 by Megan

While I’m sitting here in the nursery staring at four different paint swatches on the wall, I thought it’d be fun to share our nursery planning process. I’ve been allll over the place deciding on a theme for the new room. For C’s room, I knew exactly what I wanted to do right away. This…

CREEK BRIDGE DESIGN AND BATTLING INVASIVE BUSH HONEYSUCKLE

Posted on May 21, 2020July 7, 2020 by Megan

Spring rains are upon us here in Missouri. Everyday this week has been misty and muggy. Weeds are thriving right now, and I know we complain about our unwanted plants a lot, but the worst of them all are the invasive bush honeysuckle. If you live on basically any continent that’s not Asia, you’ve seen…

BASEMENT WINDOW PROGRESS (+ KITCHEN FLOODING AND GROUND COVER PLANTS)

Posted on May 14, 2020December 9, 2021 by Megan

It’s been an eventful week! We started off with a very wet kitchen floor. Tyler had been washing the dishes and noticed the pull down spray nozzle was kind of leaky. When I walked up to check it out, my toes hit water. And unless you’re at the beach, that’s never a good feeling (which,…

WATERPROOFING OUR BASEMENT | INSTALLING DRAINS AND A SUMP PUMP

Posted on May 1, 2020December 9, 2021 by Megan

When we took out two ginormous trees in our front yard, we knew there might be *some* moisture problems in the basement. To say we underestimated how much those trees were drinking would be an understatement. For three years we had water seeping into our basement every time it rained. It was pretty bad the…
